So it’s now 2010, wow doesn’t time fly, it doesn’t seem that long ago since it was the 1st Jan 2009. With another month flown by it’s that time ago to bring you a round-up of the previous months round-up, things have been hotting up on the blog over the last month and only today I was proud to announce on Twitter that my blog had hit the 3,000 mark in comments a wonderful milestone for myself and a true appreciation of those that stop by and decide to leave well written comments.

Those of you that read my blog will have read at sometime a collection of Blogger Interviews and Artist/Band Interviews, sadly these have now come to an end with the last Blogger Interview been posted this Thursday.

So now the call goes out to those of you who have blogs and read Blazing Minds, if you are a blogger then give me a shout by either contacting me or leave a comment the same goes for artists/bands.

Then I can get the questions to you so you can be included in either the Blogger Interviews or the Who’s The Band feature, so hope to hear from anyone wanting a bit of promo

A little while back I posted about asking some of the best commentators on my blog to become guest bloggers and lately commenting standards are vastly improving.

A lot of commentators on Blazing Minds now leave well written comments, majority of comments such as “great site” and “I agree” have now started to disappear!

So now I would like to introduce to you those avid commentators on Blazing Minds that have been given the chance to become Guest Bloggers on Blazing Minds.

• Anand Srinivasan – Techcrunchies
• bbrian017 – BlogEngage & SEO Marketing Promotion
• Justin Germino aka DragonBlogger
• Extreme John
• Hesham – Famous Bloggers
• John Sullivan – Pot Politics
• Angus Maiden – Gus Reviews

Thanks Guys

Continuing my series of weekly updates from the Blazing Minds blog where I list blog posts I’ve enjoyed reading as well as some of the stats for the week, such as the top 5 referring websites that have graciously sent me some traffic over the week.

I have been a member of EntreCard for quite a while now, but in their wisdom they have decided to introduce “sponsored” ads!

These will force EntreCard users to display ads on their blogs that they do not want to show and worse still they could be for anything and that is something that I just don’t want.

Recently I was reading the blog of Greg Matthews and he mentioned three choices that EntreCard users now have, these are:

1. Accept the fact that EC are going to advertise on your blog, even advertising sites that you disagree or compete with.

2. Pay $50/year to not be forced to display these ads

3.  Leave Entrecard altogether.

I am personally thinking of leaving EntreCard as I’m not happy with the whole situation of these ads through EC, the point of EC was to drop on other sites to gain credits and get dropped on by other users to get credits.

So let’s see how this goes…  But it doesn’t look promising!

Now I have been heavily influenced over the last few months by a brilliant blogger, Extreme John, I was reading his post the other day on his September Recap and as I already do a weekly recap then I thought it was about time I brought my readers some more info on what has been happening over the last month with the blog, it’s also an excuse to give a bit of love to those that have taken time from their busy lives to comment on some of my crazy posts over the last month, you guys ROCK!
